Fayette County Coroner Dr. Phillip Reilly says 72-year-old Wilbur Shea and James Shea - whose exact age could not immediately be determined - died of burns in the fire that broke out about 2 p.m. Friday.

The brothers lived together in the German Township home which collapsed from the severe fire damage. German Township is about 40 miles south of Pittsburgh.

The men were known to have health problems and relied on friends and neighbors to take them shopping and to medical appointments. Otherwise, the men rarely left their home and were often seen sitting on their front porch.

Two neighbors tried to enter the home, but were turned back by heavy smoke.
